About Me

Hi! My name is Evelyn Wheeler and I am 14 years old. I will be 15 on September 25th. I was born in Grosse Pointe Park but moved to Florida when I was only a few months old. My dad was transferred back here for work when I was 7 and I have lived here ever since! I went to Maire Elementary School and Pierce Middle School before attending South. I have an 11-year-old brother named John who is in 6th grade. I also have a 17-year-old sister named Hannah who is a senior this year. I have a 5-year-old labradoodle named Bob who is so sweet and I am so lucky to have him as my dog!

Something I enjoy doing is running. I have recently discovered that it is a lot of fun! Last spring, I was on the South track and field team because my sister really wanted me to be a part of it. It was really enjoyable so I decided to run cross country. Now that I am on the team, I have to become used to the soreness and fatigue because I know it will be rewarding in the end. I am already seeing myself improving because I have not given up and I keep working hard to do better! Many of my friends are on the team but I am making new ones already. Everyone is so friendly there and having my sister as a captain makes me feel welcomed. I am looking forward to the remainder of the season.

My friends and family know me as a hardworking student. I always try my best and am willing to improve. I try to be responsible when it comes to remembering and completing homework. I am looking forward to this school year because I have really nice teachers! I am taking my first AP class which I am a little bit nervous about. Hopefully I can stay on track and stay focused. One of my favorite subjects is English but sometimes I struggle with writing. My teacher last year was Mr. Pascoe and he helped me a lot! I will focus extra hard this year so I will improve!
